Cultrex Cell Migration Assay Summary
24-well and 96-well kits that provides a flexible and standardized format for the quantification of cell migration in response to chemoattractants.Why Use Cultrex Cell Migration Assay?
Cultrex Cell Migration Assays were originally created in an effort to accelerate the screening process for compounds that influence chemotaxis, which is a fundamental component of angiogenesis in embryonic development, immune responses, and wound healing. These assays offer a flexible, standardized, multi-well format for the quantification of the degree to which cells migrate in vitro in response to chemoattractants in the presence of inhibitors or stimulants. The Cultrex Cell Migration Assays are provided as either a single 96 well plate providing capacity for large screening experiments or as 24 individual inserts providing flexibility for smaller studies.
The Cultrex Cell Migration Assays utilizes a simplified Boyden chamber design with an 8 micron polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane. Cells attach to and migrate through the membrane in response to chemokines and growth factors. The porosity of this membrane is most appropriate for adherent epithelial or endothelial cells based on cell size. These assays are available in 24 and 96 well formats.

FAQs
-
What is cell migration?
Cell migration is the movement of cells in response to a chemical stimulus; also known as chemotaxis. Cultrex® Cell Migration Assays evaluate cell migration based on the cells ability to traverse an uncoated membrane with 8 µm pores, in response to a chemotactic gradient. The cells must undergo cytoskeletal remodeling to fit into the pores and pull themselves through to the underside of the membrane.
-
Can the migration chamber be coated with fibronectin?
Yes, the migration chamber can be coated with fibronectin.
-
The kit comes with both black and clear microplates. Do I need to use both?
The entire assay may be conducted in either the clear or black assay plate (provided in3455-096-01), if desired. The black assay plate provides increased sensitivity and reduced background for plate readers that read from the top. The clear assay plate provides compatibility for plate readers that read from the bottom. Some researchers have used the clear assay plate for the invasion step and the black assay plate for detection (top read).
-
Is the migration chamber treated?
The Boyden Chamber Insert with 8.0 µm polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membrane is tissue-cuture treated. For cell invasion assays, this chamber can be treated with extracellular matrix components Laminin I, Collagen I, Collagen IV, and Basement Membrane Extract (BME), Regular and PathClear®. Complete cell invasion assays are available for each of these ECM components.
